In The Kitchen.

Boiling Coffee,-The Coffee dis
cussion keeps up in Good House
keeping. Mrs. Mary ]. Lincoln
says; whether coffee shall be
boiled or not will probably be
always question. Many think
it has raw taste if not boiled;
Others contend that in boiling,
much of the aroma is lost. Boil
ling makes the mixture royly, and
it must stand long enough to let
the grounds settle and the liquid
become clear. Some albuminous
material will help to clear it.
Fish skin, isinglass, cold water,
and eggs are used for this purpos.
Eggs give it a flavor and body,
and no doubt, improve an inferior
quality of coffee; but they increase
the cost of the beverage, as, aside
from their own cost, they clog the
grounds, thus making larger
amount of coffee necessary to OBJ
tain the desired strength. But if
coffee must be boiled, let it be
boiled in cIosely-covered vessel
with a thimble or cork in the
spout, as, if left uncovered, the
volatile oil, which forms the fra
grant armoa, is dissipated; and it,
should never boil more than five
minutes, as longer boiling extracts
the tannic acid. There is a wide
ly prevalent, but erronenous,
notion that long boiling extracts
more of the strength and color,
is, therefore, more economical: but
strength and color thus gained
are obtained at the expense Of
flavor and wholesomeness."
N. B.-"I say do not boil coffee .
In this matter boil spells spoil.

FARM, DAIRY AND HOUSEHOLD.
An Orchard For Beauty And Profit.

We spend money for Towering
shrubs; the beautiful double flow.
ering almonds, the weigelas and
deutzias which delight us with
their spring and summer bloom,
and We rejoice over them without
objections to their "fleeting show. 7"
Now, all these are enjoyed solely
for their beauty. An orchard is
no less beautiful than these. A
massive apple tree, globe of
snow inst family tinged with the
most delicate pink; a dwarf pear,
pyramid of flowers, standard,
fountain of spray; the cherries
and plums; and the peaches with
their soft violet shade-all these
are unsurpassed by any of the
popular towering shrubs. Now
that the blooming season is over
and our sense of sight has been
gratifed, the fluit comes in some.
times no less beautiful with its
varied brilliancy of color, but
more useful than the majority of
farmers are ready to believe.
How many farmers ever think how
easy it is to grow apples and pears,
and how exceedingly valuable the
fruit may be made for feeding to
their animals! When some of nv
pear trees litter the ground with
their ripe mellow fruit, l feed
them to my COWS. A peck of
pears with two quarts of meal and
bran for noon day feed, increased
the milk and butter fully one
fourth, and when the apples were
ripe and only fifteen cents a
bushel could be got for them in
the market, the horses, cows, pigs
and fowls had all they wanted, and
the ripe fruit did them great
deal of good, Some farmers give
the wind falls -wormy, hard,
gnarled fruit-to their animals
and complain that they are uu-
wholesome. And why not? Are
they wholesome for themselves?
Do they not suffer the pains and
penalties of eating hard, unripe
apples? Why should they expect
their stock to escape similar con-
sequences? Give only ripe, sound
fruit to the animals; they will be
greatly benefited by it. An Or
chard is a permanent crop, yield
ing more than an acre of roots and
scarcely any cost during a mans
whole life; three hundred bushels
of fruit, one year with another,
the acre being by no means an
extravagant estimate. At twenty
five cents a bushel, moderate
estimate too, here is seventy-fve
dollars per acre for, let us say,
thirty years, with no money outlay
and scarcely any labor beyond
gathering the crops. Two thous-
and, two hundred and fifty dollars
from each acre of orchard is the
total profit. Tnen why should not
every farmer plant and care gen.
orally for at least ten acres of
apple trees? Ifhe did, and fed the
fruit, his stock would mostly
escape the diseases now SO de-
structive; and it would pay into
his pocket every dollar above
estimated.--H. Stewart, in Orchard
and Garden.

Clear the Weeds out of the Fence
Rows.

Rows.
During this season of the year
one of the jobs often neglected is
that of keeping the fence rows free
of weeds. Such neglect not onl =
causes a farm to look mos. untidy,
but is the occasion of much seri-
Gus loss.
In the first place should the
owner wish to sell he could not
get as much from a purchaser.
even though the latter was an I'M
tidy farmer himself. A we'll kept
farm will strike any man as being
more productive and valuable
than one badly cared for. The
intelligent buyer would be apt to
conclude, if he saw the fence rows
choked up with weeds, that the
farmer was pretty we'll stocked
with weeds, and it would cost a
good deal of time and labor to get
them subdued. He would conclude,
too, that judging from this one
conspicuously neglected job, there
must be hundreds of others, gates
off of the hinges, water gaps out,
fence posts rotting off, CUTTERS form
ing in the fields, which, on better
kept farm, he would have not to
attend to f he purchased. He
will pass en- and look for some
thing more in KEEPING with his
ideal.
Enough weeds can grow along
an ordinary fence row out of reach
of the pillow to seed abundantly
acres of land, thus causing hun
dred times the necessary amount
of labor to keep the fence rows
clean.
A rank growth of weeds along a
fence row. by holding the moisture
and keeping away the sun and air,
will cause fence to rot in one
half the time it would if kept clean,
thus adding a tremendous tax to
the farmer.
Weeds and grass growing along
the fence and allowed to remain
there during the winter, affords
the best possible refuge for myr-
lads of destructive Insects which
will come forth the next spring to
devour and destroy Such places
are harbors for all kinds of YER
min.
When stock is running at large
the weeds and grass along the
fence inside the field of grain or
grass is constant temptation, and
after reaching over and through
for a few mouthfuls, it is but
an easy step clear into the field
with whole herd following.
Clean out the fence rows then,
we say, and if necessary hire extra
help for the purpose. The advent
of the barbed wire or wire and
slat fence has reduced this labor
wonderfully, and when the farm
ers of an entire neighborhood have
become SO enlightened as to dis
card all but pasture fences, the
above remarks hardly apply; but
such neighborhoods are rare
